SACRAMENTO, Calif. - A 12-year-old California boy is under arrest for allegedly setting his friend on fire twice.
The victim, a 13-year-old boy, suffered severe burns to his legs as well as burns to his arms and abdomen.
Fire officials say the two were playing in a tree house Wednesday and filled a balloon with lighter fluid. The balloon broke, soaking the 13-year-old in the fluid.
According to officials, as he started leaving to go change his clothes, the 12-year-old lit him on fire. The victim patted out the flames, but then 12-year-old allegedly lit him ablaze again.
Sacramento Fire Capt. Jim Doucette says he doesn't know if the suspect intended to hurt his friend or was just being playful.
He was taken to juvenile hall and faces arson charges.

I read about this earlier in the AP. Did the burglar have a weapon or not? If not, the guy is in trouble.

Postal worker admits to stealing 30,000 Netflix DVDs
A former postal service employee has pleaded guilty to stealing more than 30,000 DVDs that moved through a western Massachusetts post office.
Myles Weathers, formerly of Springfield, took DVDs that were mailed by Netflix to customers for a year beginning in January 2007.
Federal prosecutors say the movie rental company alerted Springfield post office officials that a suspiciously high number of DVDs were disappearing. As many as 100 movies a week were disappearing.
Weathers was arrested in February 2008 after investigators filmed him taking DVDs from packages and slipping them into his backpack.
He faces 10 months to 16 months in prison and restitution costs of about $38,000 at his Dec. 23 sentencing.
Weathers' attorney did not immediately return a call seeking comment Tuesday..
A Pennsylvania college sophomore has been arrested for exposing himself to women, and has confessed to serial flashing acts that have victimized more than 200 Annville, Pa. women since June.
Hung “Mike” Thanh Vo, 19, was charged with indecent exposure, following complaints from four women who reported a flashing jogger. Police encourage anyone who has experienced similar incidents to come forward.
62-year-old Dennis LeRoy Anderson tricked out his La-Z-Boy arm chair with speakers, cup holders and the engine of a lawnmower. Pretty sweet. But then he ruined it by having a few beers and attempting to drive the chair home. With his blood alcohol level at 0.26 (three time the legal limit), he collided with a parked car (he's OK, don't worry) and the cops picked him up for driving while intoxicated. He got two years probation.
